点评:Having booked the event for 4 of us a month in advance and knowing weather conditions can affect viewing, we arrived the desert a day ahead of our viewing night. Unfortunately the day we departed, I became ill with cold like symptoms. Overnight I worsened and stayed in our room next day to rest and not expose others to whatever I had contracted. We reached out to Dennis, the proprietor, to advise of my illness to which he responded , theres a 3 day cancellation window, so come if you can. So I did. My awful cough, even masked, I’m sure wasn’t appreciated in the quiet nighttime talk and viewing but I apologized to all. Also left early, as I declined and felt I’d be better in bed. I only write so that others are aware you can cancel 3 days before viewing but not after, even if sick. Otherwise, he was knowledgeable and professorial like in presentation. Open to questions, telescope was cool. 3 different views were offered.
Dress warmly and bring chair as advised.
翻译:我们提前一个月预订了这次活动,考虑到天气状况可能会影响观测,所以我们提前一天抵达了沙漠。不幸的是,出发那天我突然感冒了。一夜之间病情加重,第二天我待在房间里休息,以免传染给其他人。我们联系了老板丹尼斯,告知我的情况,他回复说可以提前三天取消,所以如果可以的话就来吧。于是我去了。即使戴着口罩,我那恼人的咳嗽声肯定在安静的夜晚交流和观测中让人难以忍受,但我还是向大家道了歉。之后我提前离开了,因为我感觉身体不适,还是待在床上比较好。我写这篇文章只是想提醒大家,即使生病了,也可以在观测前三天取消,但之后就不能取消了。除此之外,丹尼斯知识渊博,讲解也很有条理。他乐于解答问题,望远镜也很棒。他们提供了三种不同的观测视角。
建议穿暖和些,并按照建议自带椅子。
